Cataclysm: The Ret Paladin- AKA Multi-Box Burst PVP Machines.

With the changes that are on PTR you're going to be Fury as a Warrior. There's multiple clips on Youtube of Fury Warriors doing ~100k in less than 3 seconds against 3k resilience. What do you need to "control" with a team whose sole strategy is "Tunnel one person". Fury DPS on PTR is stupidly simple to setup with a priority system a la how we run the DK's right now. Unholy DK's become insane with Death's Advance and Frost actually would work great too with the root on Chains of Ice. The comp never does split-dps and you have virtually no CC to manage that isn't ridiculously simple--If you can run 4x DK's with a healer you could run TSG imo~.

Plus, with the way Arena works right now you could just make one single 3's team and cycle everyone through it for points. Sure, you'll only get 6 people to Gladiator with a single team, but... Worst case scenario you have two Holy Pallies on your main account as healers and then one set of 4 DK's and one set of 4 Warriors on the alt accounts. Bam.

I REALLY REALLY don't think that it will be possible to get glad like that, but i might try it for fun. I know fury has redic damage... i just didnt know how much.

Edit: tried a fury warrior on PTR... seriously what the fuck is this shit... recklessness + colossal smash on a fury warrior is RETARDED. 90k damage in 3 seconds is stupid.

Test Realm, is not live.
90% of the stuff there is under consideration, but will not go live.

Do you think that running TSG by yourself is honestly doable? Especially running the healer yourself? After the nerfs to arms? There are tons of means to actually slow your opponent etc. Getting off pummles/mind freezes successfully and not being juked is probably easier for a boxer than two players.

I think it would require just as many macros if not more to be successful than playing a single toon such as a DK... focus required for gnaws. The charge change might actually help a boxer.

To be super successful you will need things like lichborne self heal, death striking for hp... among other things.

Youre correct. It is insanely difficult and thats why I dont run the healer in 3s. I also dont run a warrior- I use either DK/Ehn/Ret.

I tired 3s solo and I found very frustrating with me playing the healer also it was just too easy for the opposing team to lock me down playing the healer. Positioning is too important for the healer. I think it can be done but it would take a ton of practice.

The most important things about melee cleave is getting interrupts on to the healer or onto my target so he cant do any dmg or very little. The biggest benefit to melee cleave/tsg is that I dont have to worry about CC except for instants. I use the naga for target arena 1/2/3 for interrupts/ non facing CC and with the pressure I put out I dont worry about getting juked.

Why I mentioned warrior as being a possible for a boxer is because they dont have to have as many macros or any now for stance changes and can sit in battle, they have decent self heal and with a dispel they have good melee uptime. It makes them easier, I guess, but you are correct in your post.
